If you don't have too many items in the dataProvider, you could create a second DataGrid, with the same DataProvider and itemRenderers, that does not have a height set and is not visible. The second DataGrid would render all of the items in the dataProvider, because the height isn't set. Then go about inspecting the itemRenderers like you proposed earlier; to get the data for your service call. Not the best solution, but this is an unusual use-case.
